Tuesday Twist

I really enjoyed Laura's challenge this week.  I really had fun responding to it.  I picked up my little journal to flip through and it soon became apparent (duh!) that I there was a basis for my enjoyment - it seems I nearly ALWAYS use curves!  A little swing here, a bit of a twist there...  So I started hunting down the straight lines I've used in my work and you know what?  There are hardly any!  Well, that won't do!  After all, fair is fair and all good lines deserve a chance to play.  I actually CAN draw a straight line (in grade school a mean child named Simon took a ruler to check a line I drew and insisted it was TOO straight and that I had cheated and used a ruler - even though he'd seen me draw it!).  I mean I can draw a really, really TRULY straight line! *G*  So, I thought I'd go back to the previous straight-line challenge.  Then I thought, no, I'd just go with the flow and let the straight lines be in my mind while I worked (do you see a certain waffling theme here?).  So, long story short, this is what happened:
I'm thinking that perhaps I should make more of an effort to use straight lines!  They really didn't show up in this ZIA excepting as an inner element and I really DID intend to use more of them....  Oh well.  There's always tomorrow! *G*

Happy Tuesday!

Love Those Curves !

Life throws them at you and you hope you can catch 'em.  They show up in your path and you have no choice but to navigate them.  They distract you from your goals and you turn your back on them.  When you're young and have 'em, they attract unwanted attention from others.  When you age a bit and have 'em, they waste too much energy regretting them.  What are they?  Curves, of course!  The fabulous Diva, Mistress Of All Things Challenging, has given us our challenge of the week - Love Your Curves, Baby!  Cool, eh?  Fortunately I've had a lifetime of experience in dealing with curves - whether inflicted by fate, the universe or the Powers That Be, they've been part of my life for virtually the entirety of it!
Happy Monday!
